Mistah Eliot—he dead.

A vacuum for the Old Guy.

What is the point

of a poem

that no one understands

(a mental puzzle

for ego-feeding)

What is the point

of a mystery for

one mind

(structure without meaning)

What is the point

of a language

that speaks to one ear

What is the point

of a cipher without a key

What is the point

of conception

when no one can see the child

and pointless is the poem

that communicates naught.
